Child Sponsorship
As reported by the organization, $1/day or $365/year allows sponsors to support a specific child in the Orphan Sponsorship Program on an ongoing basis. Donations are collected by HHRD through a monthly or annual payment, which is given directly to the orphan's family or guardian. Sponsors are given updated information through reports containing the child's profile, progress reports, and medical records. The General Orphan Support Program allows for gifts from multiple sponsors to be combined and contributed to more than one orphan. These gifts are used to provide for the orphans' education, medical care, and food in some instances.
Helping Hand for Relief and Development (HHRD) works with individuals and communities, especially in emergency and disaster situations globally, with special focus on needy people in Asia and Africa. The organization's major activities include reconstruction and rehabilitation of disaster affected areas, mainly by providing emergency relief, food, shelter, vocational and skills development, education, water, support programs for widows and orphans, health facilities, and economic and livelihood programs.
